As I work on my gaming projects, I am often placing things in temporary places. Things get piled haphazardly. It all might fall down any moment, but it's OK because I know I'll get back and put things away properly… shortly.
So I placed a tray of painted figures in a precarious place, knowing they were secure because there was a nice, heavy object balancing everything out.
But then I needed to put the heavy object somewhere else, which I did…
Minutes later, something toppled. Well, actually, it flipped. And the painted figures from the tray went… airborne! I couldn't even find them at first. I was laughing at myself.
The story would be perfect if the figures were actually airborne soldiers. No, but they were armed with anti-aircraft weapons. 
(I did find them. They were unharmed.)
